Case Study: Fenris Creations keeps EVE Online online with Honeycomb

Fenris Creations keeps 8,600-player battles online with Honeycomb

Fenris Creations, the developer of the massively multiplayer online game EVE Online, faced the challenge of managing an immensely complex and decades-old codebase while supporting a live-service game known for its record-breaking, large-scale player battles. They needed reliable observability tools to help their teams debug and collaborate effectively. They turned to the vendor Honeycomb to integrate its observability platform into their engineering workflow.

By implementing Honeycomb, Fenris Creations transformed team communication, with engineers sharing Honeycomb query links instead of just describing problems. The solution provided deep observability into their systems and, with features like the Slack integration and AI-powered Canvas, made these insights accessible to non-engineers like quality analysts and managers. This allowed for faster debugging and greater collaboration across all disciplines within the company.
